  1. 11,000 Titles a year? on Porn Industry Mulls Next Generation-DVD · · Score: 2, Funny


    Holy Coitus Interuptus, Batman! I'm not amazed at the volume as much as I as am amazed about the creativity behind actually titling that many porn movies.

    I imagine a brain storming session migh go like this:
    "Bob, what do we have for this week?"
    "Well, Tony, we have 4 girl on girl releases, 2 double penetration features, 3 gay features, and a couple of light one-on-one featurettes for cable."
    "What are we going with?"
    "Glad you asked, Tony. Right now, we've got Hair Pie Tango II, Bushmasters, Vagitarians from Outer Space, and Lesbian Luau; for the 2 on 1s, we have Git-R-Done and Heads or Tails?; for the gay demographics, we've got Mandango, Cock-A-Doodle-Doo, and Bunghole Burglars III. For the cable features, we're going with Flesh Fetish and Return to Blue Lagoon II.
    "Great. We'll get 'em to graphics for the cover design and then send over to marketing..."

  3. Re:A $249 Mac? on Bob Cringely's Predictions For 2005 · · Score: 1

    I think your chances of being right are the same chances Steve Jobs has at creating a reality distortion field.

  4. Tin Whiskers? on The Tin-Whisker Menace · · Score: 1

    That's the same name as my new Japanese robotic cat! [I know, I know: -5 Troll]

  5. RDF: Highly Focused on Apple Nixes Live Webcast, Satellite Feed · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Steve's magic isn't strong enough to support a reality distortion field big enough to go global on this one--must be a real hum-dinger --or-- he doesn't want the store slammed before it's updated.

    More likely, he's "punishing" the unruly rumor mongering masses for the leaked insider info. More hype. Love him. Hate him. He still wins.

  6. Dangit... on Local Root Exploit in Linux 2.4 and 2.6 · · Score: 3, Funny

    All those MCSE dorks down the hall are gonna give me sh*t for the next week.

    Reminds me of a punchline to my favorite Scottish joke:
    "Aye, lad...ya screw ONE goat..."

  7. "employ" robots? on Toyota to Employ Advanced Robots · · Score: 1

    I think you meant "deploy" --unless there's a new robot union that worked out frequent recharge breaks and a retirement plan.

  8. Any help is good help on Microsoft Releases AntiSpyware Program · · Score: 1

    Anything MS can do to make their products less vulnerable to this sort of malware is a good start. Spyware and Viruses have been a huge black eye for MS's "security" image and it seems that they genuinely want to improve this. SP2, lame as it is, is still an improvement. They were magnanamous enough not to charge for SP2, so I doubt they'd have the unmitigated audacity to charge for it. We all like to see pie on Redmond's face but ultimately we pay for it when our friends and family call us to clean up the mess.

  9. Wait a minute... on Gates Nose-Dives at CES · · Score: 1

    Is Bill Gates starting his own reality distortion field? Heh...seems like his RDF doesn't work as well as Steve's.

    I think it's funny that MS is starting to jump on the "Digital Hub/Digital Lifestyle" bandwagon that Steve Jobs was ranting about 3 years ago. We'll see which has the best Foo on the stage--so far It's 2-0 for Steve.

  10. Re:I wonder... on Samsung Shows Off 21" OLED Display · · Score: 1

    Man--today's moderators either have no sense of humor or they're totally pissed about my comments on RMS. [in my best Eric Cartman voice] Bunch of naive communist hippies....

  11. I wonder... on Samsung Shows Off 21" OLED Display · · Score: -1

    I wonder what Playboy's new iBods will look like on OLED...

    ...will OLED make the silicon look organic?

  12. You've got... on Future Samsung Phone Plans Leaked · · Score: 1

    [ in my best AOL announcer voice...]
    You've got...cease and desist orders!

    By the time I saw the site, it looks like Samsung's lawyers can smell leaks as well as Apple lawyers! That's about as kean as a great white shark can smell seal blood--only they attourneys are not as kind.

    Note to self: Don't publish any internal documents from large corporations on web site.

    Fetche le vache!

  14. Re:Freedom? on Interview With Richard Stallman · · Score: 1

    ...just an addendum: I don't think Richard is a useless nut--his contributions are unmatched. I only question his motivations and his paradoxical ethics.

  15. I'll have a large... on A Pizza Box for Your Laptop · · Score: 1, Funny

    ...yeah, can you hold the spam and malware?

  16. Freedom? on Interview With Richard Stallman · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I think Stallman is a bit eccentric about his ideas about freedom. I would venture to guess that he's wired a bit funny. His ideologies are are not practical nor are they rooted in reality. My freedom is not in jeopardy because I elected to use MacOS X on an Apple G5 (my wallet was but not not my freedom). Stallman presumes that his intelligence and knowledge give him the right to not respect the boundaries of others. When someone tells him that he can't have his way with their software (or if it isn't written by his own minions or philosophies), he cries foul and plays the freedom card. This isn't an ideology, this is arrogance and extreme anti-social behavior. This sort of behavior is very consistent with a high-functioning autism known as "Asperger's Syndrome."

    Draw your own conclusions...

  17. Good and Bad on Venezuela Moves Further Toward Open Source · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think Open Source solutions are good choices if there is good support if things go wrong but they often require more expertise by the IT people and can be costly if they have to customize or otherwise wade through the often poorly written documentation just to compile and install.

    This is where MS flexes their corporate muscle--they make CTOs feel good about spending m/billions on their solutions.

    If MS and Open Source were men:

    Open Source would be the quiet mysterious geek who can't utter a sentence without geek speak but is pretty nice looking and gentle. He's sincere and eager but doesn't have lots of money. He's usually polite and makes you feel quite comfortable though you have to pay for his meals now and then.

    MS would be the tall, dark, and handsome fraternity boy with a new Porsche who slips you some Rohypnol and you wake up naked and screwed with an empty wallet. He throws wild parties at your place but doesn't check the guest list very well. Your stuff keeps getting stolen and you keep finding creeps living and hiding in your closets. You notice on the wall that you have a marriage certificate on the wall and it's signed in your blood. You're Mrs. Satan.

    Maybe I took that a little too far...but you get the point.

  18. Some first hand knowledge on The Super Superhighway · · Score: 1

    Hi, ya'll. I'm from Houston and my wife is from the Rio Grande Valley. The drive down from Houston along US 59 and 77 is BUTT UGLY and takes about 5.5 hours (350 miles). I'm all for having a faster direct route away from the in-laws! There's signs along the route that say "Future site of Interstate 69" (insert joke here) which is supposed to be a federally funded project to keep up with NAFTA. There is I-35, but it goes through Austin and San Antonio on the way to Laredo--which bypasses the state's largest city and the country's 4th largest, Houston. The roadways are narrow and flat and connected with speed trap small towns. I'd like to see an interstate, but I think the weed in Gov. Perry's bong is laced with some LSD. That kind of super hwy is a bit overkill and the tolls would make practical travel on it cost prohibative. A new interstate with wide lanes and a special truck lane would "git-r-done" just fine and would be funded with traditional funding and conventional "toll free" travel.

  19. uh oh on Green Security Clearance Laser Pistol Available · · Score: 1

    Don't my mom read this...I'll *never* hear the end of "you'll shoot your eye out!"

    As seen on the weird little TV in my head:

    The 2086 remake of "A Christmas Story" on TNT

    Santa: What do you want for Christmas, little boy?
    Ralphie: A Red-Writer Highly Collimated Power Laser Rifle With a Compass in the Stock!!

  20. Back in *my* day... on Whippersnappers Bad-Mouth Old Games · · Score: 1

    (in my best grumpy old man voice)

    Back in my day, we didn't have any of this namby pamby "realistic" graphics with blood, guts, gore, and trashtalk. We had Pong...AND WE LIKED IT! If'n we wanted some *real* action we'd get a pocket full-o-quarters and play Pac-Man at the Mall.

    Now give me back my Asteroids and Kaboom cartridges, you ungrateful whelp of a whore!

  22. My wish list...JUNK MONKEY 1.0 on Spamfighting Since the Death of MakeLoveNotSpam? · · Score: 1

    you've seen the trunk monkey commercials right?

    I'd love to create "Junk Monkey" --whenever I get spam, my Junk Monkey takes a tire iron and beats the living sh*t out of the ISP manager or webmaster that hosts the baneful scourge of the earth known as spammers.

  23. fun times, kids! on Classic Mac FPS Marathon Turns 10 · · Score: 1

    My favorite was multi-player death matches. Making your own maps and tweaking the weapons was TOO much fun!

  24. A *must* have... on Huge Parachute Saves Crashing Planes · · Score: 1

    definitely worth th $16K--esp. with the higher risk for smaller planes. Of course, I'd want my mondo expensive-ass plane to survive, too. So this is much better solution than a ditch or crash landing.

    They might re-think the design of larger planes to just have escape modules--kinda like the way they redesigned the Shuttle.

    I'd also want hell if I were in ice water--or maybe the other way around, too.

  25. bittersweet memories on Top 100 Toys From The '70s or Thereabouts · · Score: 4, Funny

    I remember back in '73, I got a GI Joe--the 12" action figure from the Viet Nam War era! He had rough beard and pre-camouflage utility uniform. VERY cool and manly. But then, my dad exploited my colorblindness by giving me a pink banana seat high-riser girl's bike he bought from a police auction for $5. Cheap bastard.

    I think that was "tough love." But, on the bright side, I get to pick his retirement home.
